I Feel Numb

Welcome to the Center of the Universe.
This monoblogue is apt to bring all of you down, so proceed at your own risk, Underlings.
The great Encyclopedia Universalis defines NUMB as "Being deprived of feeling". To feel numb is therefore an oxymoron. One cannot feel if one cannot feel what one cannot feel. Simple.
In today's world there is so much negativity being pounded into our Numb-skulls that we are often overwhelmed and lose all sense of feeling. We see, we witness, we observe, and yet we are so detatched anymore that we feel nothing. Disasters brought to us by the televised media are little more than entertainment in the evening before bed. Our jobs sap our energies until we become stupified automatons. We are deadened to sights of the dead, unfeeling to those suffering, and paralyzed into inaction by our own lethargy.
U2, the great (Saint) Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam, the greatest band on the planet without a doubt, have a very witty take on this subject. To paraphrase through the voice of The Edge:
"Don't move=Don't talk out-a-time=Don't think=Don't worry, everything's just fine=Don't grab=Don't clutch=Don't hope for too much=Don't breathe=Don't achieve=Don't grieve without leave=Don't check, just balance on the fence=Don't answer=Don't ask=DON'T TRY AND MAKE SENSE=Don't whisper=Don't talk=Don't run if you can walk=Don't cheat=Don't compete=Don't miss the one beat=Don't travel by train=Don't eat=Don't spill=Don't shoot=Don't kill=Don't piss in the drain=Don't make a will=Don't fill out any forms=Don't compensate=Don't cover=Don't crawl=Don't come around late=Don't hover at the gate=Don't take it aboard=Don't fall on your sword=Don't change your brand=Don't listen to the band=Don't gape=Don't ape=Don't change your shape=Don't plead=Don't bridle=Don't shackle=Don't grind=Don't curve=Don't swerve=DON'T LIE=Don't die=Don't serve=Don't theorize, realize, polarise=Don't chance, dance, dismiss, or apologize=Don't spy=Don't try=Don't triumph=Don't coax=Don't cling=Don't hoax=Don't freak=Don't peak=Don't leak=Don't speak=Don't project, connect, or protect=Don't expect or suggest=Don't struggle=Don't jerk=Don't collar=Don't work=Don't wish=Don't fish=Don't teach=Don't reach=Don't borrow=Don't break=Don't fence=Don't steal=Don't pass=Don't press=DON'T TRY AND FEEL=Don't touch=Don't dive=Don't suffer=Don't rhyme=Don't fantasize=Don't rise=DON'T LIE==="
